Dusting off my Raspberry Pi 4
During my break I felt motivated to mess around with my Raspberry Pi 4 again and work on my network attacks skills but my network adaptor is only limited to monitoring mode and has issues. I decided to order me a new network adaptor “AWUS036NHA” to mess around with!
I am planning in future on working on wifi attacks such as setting up an evil twin and having an active portal to steal credentials. To start with working on that i need to make sure my Raspberry is dusted and ready for it.
1. Updating Kali
I started my Raspberry and it had A LOT of issues, i couldnt even update or upgrade due to the time and hour being wrong. I started simple fixing the date and then i ran the below command to make sure everything is updated, upgraded, and cleaned up ready for me to start working on it.
1
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -Vy && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get autoclean && apt-get clean && reboot
After an hour finally the Raspberry is fully ready for me to mess around with but i still have to install the required driver for the network adaptor and to check if my SSH configuration is still setup for me to access the device from my vmware.
2. Installing the RTL8188FU driver
For installing the network adaptor driver, for any errors follow the steps found here

git clone https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu.git
cd rtl8188fu
make
sudo make install
After installing the driver I still had the same issue but it turns out that using the old usb cable wont do. I used the new USB cable that came with the network adaptor.
3. SSH configuration
For the SSH, all I had to do is make sure that my SSH service is on and everytime I turn the Raspberry device on it will automatically start. The below command does it:
1
systemctl start ssh
4. Connecting to the device
I scanned my network to find the ip address of my Raspberry with port 22 open and i found it
1
nmap -sV -p 22 192.168.1.0-255
ssh using the below command
1
ssh kali@ipaddress
